EtherNet/IP fieldbus valve terminal, 14 x 5/2-way single solenoid, M7 side ports on the base, 24 V DC - E.MC

Where 14 double-acting cylinders or grippers are switched from one point, this terminal replaces 14 individual valves and their supply tubing. A EtherNet/IP bus module comes fitted, so the controller addresses every solenoid over the network. Each station delivers around 330 l/min through its M7 ports.

Advantages

• EtherNet/IP bus module with 2x M12 socket, 4-pin, D-coded (bus in/out), module current draw below 120 mA.
• Response time of 15 ms or less at 5 bar and up to 5 switching cycles per second per valve.
• Only 0.8 W per solenoid at 24 V DC ±10 %, so 14 valves draw 11.2 W in total.
• Diagnostics report communication faults, short circuit, wire break, reverse polarity and under- or overvoltage, and the output state on bus failure can be parameterised.
• M7 ports with a nominal cross-section of 7 mm² (Cv 0.39), around 330 l/min flow per station.

Applications

• Machines on a EtherNet/IP network, where the terminal is daisy-chained to the next node through its two bus ports.
• Packaging and feeding systems in which 14 actuators are switched from one central manifold.
• Medium-bore cylinders that move briskly with 330 l/min per station.
• Installation under low covers, since the tubes leave sideways from the base plate rather than upwards.

Conversion and extension

The valves can be swapped for individually available valves with one or two solenoids or for blanking plates. Stations are counted from the electrical connection.
